AU203 Positive Adventures in Creative Writing

Discover new, positive ways of seeing yourself and your world through gentle but stimulating creative writing activities. No need for previous writing experience – you will discover, through listening and being listened to in this friendly, encouraging group, that we are all natural storytellers, poets and writers.

We will use all kinds of writing, together with art, photographs and everyday objects as inspiration for our writing adventures. Join us to find out how you too can put one word next to another and create magic!

Some 21 students from Dawn Gorman’s two ‘Positive Adventures in Creative Writing’ Frome Community Education classes collaborated with members of Frome Wessex Photographic this year, to produce a full colour, 58-page book of ekphrastic poetry and fiction written in response to the photograph group’s stunning images.

Dawn says: ‘The collaborative publication is a wonderful tribute to creativity of the writers and photographers involved, and is a perfect example of how the juxtaposition of one art form against another delivers a special kind of magic that is far more than the sum of the parts.’

The book, was officially launched at an event at Beckington Memorial Hall on December
16th , and is available for purchase direct from Dawn (dawn@dawngorman.co.uk), price £5.
